Travels 2023
On 7. January 2023 by WebmasterAn Early start of the year: Sylvester.
Lodz (PL) – January
We started the year with a visit to Lodz (PL). Some photos were actually taken on the last day of the year 2022. Brus Museum was visited again and also Chochianowice and Telefoniczna depots. Little time was availble to chase tram in the town but then much of the system is closed for renovation anyway. Most of the unrebuilt Konstal cars are due for retirement in 2023 and a few have now been renumbered (right after out visit) to make space for new trams (new and second hand that is). We also paid another visit to the tram on display in Rgzow. The tramline in Pabianice is much advanced and should open soon (no photos as we just drove along it in the night). Below is a listing of the now renumbered Konstal cars:

Gorzow (PL) – January
With all three tram lines back in service the modernised “Helmut” trams (ex Kassel) can be seen now. But these will be replaced by more new rolling stock (which has already been ordered). We did not visit the depot this time but had a quick look through the fence (more Helmuts and also more low floor cars were sitting inside, there does not seem to be a shortage of vehicles).
